Instagram - AdamTheWooATW I like meeting up with smaller creators who are local to the area (if time permits) . Today got to meet RU-vid/CarsonTyler and had a good time walking around checking out Cheerwine stuff . Check out his independent short film, he’s on to something
Hey Adam. Nick the "Woo Man Fan" here. Because of this vlog, I now have to seek and hunt for Cheerwine in my area of Long Beach CA (or go online) and buy myself a case so I can fully try out this tasty, carbonated beverage. Thanks for another great slice of Americana Pie.
That grocery store advertisement, “We sell to sell again.” They’re saying we will give you a good experience on your visit so you’ll return when you need more food. Thanks for the video!
Cheerwine Has Just Bought Sun Drop - Iconic North Carolina Soda Merger. According to the Salisbury Post, Piedmont Cheerwine Bottling Co. just announced the purchase of Concord-based Sun Drop Bottling Co., a deal that merges two of the most legendary southern beverages.
Great video! It is nice to see some of your new fellow you tuber friends and the different people you meet like the coffee shop owner. These are some interesting places you show us. Thanks for sharing! 👍
I love this. I was hoping you would do this video. I love Cheerwine, such a great,refreshing taste! Living in NY, i’m very happy you can find it at Cracker Barrel!
What a great end to the vlog, Adam directing Carson, a clink of the glass bottles holding Cheerwine and the vlog was over, Thankyou, 19, wish i was 19 again lol
Carson looks like a nice kid. I wish him luck with all his endeavors. I love Cheerwine and they do sell it up in New England. I like Dr Pepper more though! LOL I wish I knew about those Cheerwine Krispy Kremes! Apparently, from a Google search, there were BOTH donuts AND soda! Just Holy Cow!
Love your videos from North Carolina. There is something about small towns. I too love vintage signage. Old oil and gas signs, soda signs etc. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so proud to be from North Carolina! Cheerwine from Salisbury, Bojangles' from Charlotte, and Krispy Kreme from Winston Salem! The holy trinity of culinary perfection. All born in North Carolina. And we also lay claim to the birthplace of Pepsi! You're welcome, world!
I was hoping you would make it over to Salisbury, my home town! It's a nice place to live. Alot of history in the area. Ketner's was the original store where Ralph Ketner started Food Town, later named Food Lion. Corporate offices are there in Salisbury. Also Elizabeth Dole still has a home on Fulton St. A famous old movie star had a home there also, Sidney Blackmer. That Dairy Qeen is open year round nowadays, use to close for the winter months. You absolutely have to visit Spencer Shop's the way you love trains, it has a full roundhouse and museum. Take care and keep em coming.
Don’t forget as I remember hearing many years ago… “”goin’ down to the fillin’ station for a sodypop”!!! 😂 I actually grew up in Iowa saying pop but when I moved to California I fought everyone I worked with that said soda!! I refused to call it soda until one day it just slipped out… I said SODA!!! 😱😂 They briefly broke me but fought it off!! 😂🥰
Whoop! 🍒🥤👏 I know I sound like a broken record, but being from NC, I really appreciate these vlogs Adam! Down here in Florida we’re always tickled to find Cheerwine in certain restaurants, like PDQ and 4Rivers! Also - Carson seems cool, I will check him out, impressive cameos so far! I am friends with the actor that played Ricky the 711 cashier in Stranger Things S2 (his head was pushed into the counter by one of the Russians 😆) - AnyWho he may be available to interview or help if you plan to go to Atlanta filming sites! Let me know and I can connect! 🎬🎥💚🧡❤️👏👏👏
HEY ATW...YOW! ANOTHER AWESOME PIECE OF FILM TODAY! Thanks! You are really on your game this year. I learned so much. I've never heard of Cheerwine, but now I must try some! Besides all the super content, you are really adding some great still shots for the hardback. Keep up the great work! Besides, your new way of living and eating better is starting to reflect in weight loss!
I love places like this. North Carolina is one my favorite states. I think Cracker Barrel sells the Cheerwine . Didn’t know what it was. Looks like a good soda. Very cool vlog. Nice to meet Carson. Towns like Salisbury are the most special towns in my opinion. Thank you to you and Carson.
I am so loving these vlogs! I live in Denver and have never heard of Cheeriwine. It makes me want to make a trip to these small towns in North Carolina! The last couple days of your trip has been a hoot, you look like you are having so much fun meeting up with other vlogers who are natives able to show you around. Love it! Keep up the fun!
That sign on the side of the building for spearmint gum, I could see the "Y" at the end of the first word and it was "Wrigley's" As for what you thought was a storm cellar, you were half right. It's an entrance to the cellar. Those doors were for delivery trucks to make their deliveries to the store without interrupting the customers in the store. New York City and Philadelphia still has many of those delivery entrances however theirs are flatter and people walk over them. Some when you open the outside door has like an elevator to bring the merchandise down to the cellar.
One of the things that I miss most about the South...Cheerwine! Introduced my kids to it on a visit back home and now they have to drink it every time we visit.
I've never heard of Cheerwine but now I need to try it! Also had to look up "neck of the woods" origination because it would have bothered me all day: "The phrase comes from the sense of neck as a strip of land. In Britain, this refers to land with water on both sides, but early Americans used it to mean "a settlement in the woods.""
Glad you looked into "neck of the woods" i literally have a seond tab open with exactly the same question ready to look up, just wanted to finish Adam's video and read a few comments... now i can delete the tab lol great minds think alike! (and yes, like you, it would have bothered me the whole day about not knowing where this phrase comes from and i also did not know this softdrink, i somehow need to get a sip of that.. all because of Adam's praise for it lmao)
@@annegallagher4005 Lol as soon as he asked in the video where that came from I thought, “huh, I actually don’t know…” and had to look it up. I’m so interested to try this soda but part of me is nervous it will taste like cough syrup 😬 lol
FWIW, my hometown, it's pronounced sawlz-berry. I'm sure the Chamber of Commerce will appreciate this video. The Carolina Beverage Corporation building at the end of the video is actually the original bottling facility.
Wow, thank you so much for this one....not from this side of the country, so am learning so many new things, and places.....Kudos to Carson; the inspiration and talent of this young man is outstanding.....& your showing it is another strength you have.....Thanks!!
Ok ok, I live in Salisbury and I just have to tell you locals pronounce it like Sawsbury 😂, also you missed so much great stuff here! You should definitely come back and see the train station, the transportation museum, Salisbury High School, and all the cemeteries here! Lots of history here! Also the sign you saw that said Ketners Grocery is a reference to the Food Lion chain which was also founded here in Salisbury. Their original name was Ketners!
At 14:42, that looks like Wrigley's chewing gum, Spearmint maybe. They had Spearmint (white label), Double mint (green label) and Juicy Fruit (yellow label). I think they also made "Big Red" chewing gum which was a cinnamon flavor. They used to advertise Big Red all the time back in the 80's on tv during football season.
Sailsbury hosts a Cheerwine festival every year, been cancelled the last few but news is its on this year for May 21st. It's a pretty good time! Glad you are enjoying our neck of the woods.
I'll be 53 years old next month and I've lived in North Carolina my whole life so far. I was drinking Cheerwine when I was little!! 😋 I really enjoyed this vlog Adam! Thank you so much for sharing!! I just subbed to Carson Tyler! 👍🏻 💗🍒🥤😋
The blue building that comes into frame at 0:24 is the former Belk-Harry department store. The Belks of Charlotte partnered with the Harry Brothers in 1902, one of the earliest examples of the unique arrangement Belk constructed with many other Southern merchants to leverage buying power and standardize merchandising. I'm sure you passed through many other NC & SC small towns that had their own "Belk-SoAndSo" stores before the BigBoxification of America.
Adam a quick answer. The metal slivers on the back of the truck was scrap from a machine that turns metal in processing. Kinda the same as a Wood lathe but for metals. As always enjoy your videos. God Bless
Another awesome day Adam the town was quite beautiful with that old vintage look and the murals scattered around town were beautiful a sight for sore eyes also thanks for giving some historical information about different areas of the town always a pleasure to learn something new about a place I’ve never been before and the soda pop Cherrywine sounded quite tasty and one thing I couldn’t figure out is weather or not you liked it I mean one thing you said is it was very cherry 🍒 but I didn’t quite hear you say you liked it or it was just ok or you didn’t much like it but it was nice seeing you enjoying a friendly drink with you guest now with that being said peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Adam and I’ll see you on the next Adams Big Adventure also please be safe out there
I just turned 59 and I can remember while growing up that there were no stores open up on Sunday's. When we finally bought a colored tv we had to hurry down to the store on a Saturday night as a family, before they closed. Cheerwine sounds delicious & so does Sun Drop, but I have never heard of them before, but would love to try!!! 🌼
Going to NC was my first vacation away from Massachusetts. We stayed in Salisbury in 2020 and stayed at the Home 2 Suites which was right up the road from the Cheerwine distribution center you guys saw. Thanks for the memories and seeing those murals again! Now I wanna go back!
Great video!!! Some of us southern folks call a soft drink/soda just 'a drink' or if you're really in the backwoods, 'a drank'. LOL We also pronounce Salisbury 'Sawls-berry'. Nothin' like a good southern accent😊
Adam, you truly are becoming a Carolina Boy! Your definitely covering both of the Carolina’s really well! Hope that on your way back to Florida, you will travel back down I85, and visit Greenville SC. From Charlotte, your are an hour and a half away. Been going back and forth from Greenville, SC, to Asheboro, NC, for 30+ years. Definitely proud to be born, raised, and grow old, in The Carolina’s, and love that your doing us Carolinians some Justice! Growing up back in the 60s, 70s, RC, and Cheerwine were the thing, in these small towns of The Carolina’s!
Lived about 20 minutes from Sailsbury in Thomasville all my life (33 years) until 3 years ago. Now in Southeast Texas and man, do we miss our Cheerwine!!! Can only find it at Cracker Barrel. We always stock up when we visit on Cheerwine and Sundrop. Cool video!!
Lois and I are watching your video. The stuff in the truck is cuttings from a lathe. Going for scrap. I worked in a steel mill for 35 1/2 years and have my own lathe. Love your videos. Norman.
Another great one Adam. NC does indeed get tornadoes. Not like in tornado alley, but we do get them. I know because one hit my house. They are most common in spring. Neighbors had roofing and siding torn off on all sides of my house. My wood flag pole was snapped off at the base and I had a twig wedged under a shingle-- very lucky. I was hiding in the master bath, and the power went out but as the wind roared, the bathroom exhaust fan started spinning as if it was on, because of the air pressure difference.
My brother loved Cheerwine. But Sun Drop is my favorite. And, my brother, sister and I were born in Gastonia. We moved to SoCal when I was a baby but still have a bunch of relatives in the area. Thanks for doing these videos featuring NC.
I was introduced to cheerwine from some friends who would bring it home whenever they went through North Carolina on their travels. I thought it was pretty cool to start seeing them on shelves here in Florida.
Great video. I used to live in Salisbury, when I first moved to NC from Morgantown WV. There is a street there with all these old mansions on it. Can’t remember the name of it off hand but it’s neat.
Neck of woods - Originated from Britain. The phrase comes from the sense of neck as a strip of land with water on both sides. Early Americans used it to mean a settlement in the woods. 🧡🌺
@@JKW24LUV oh cool i live in Orlando and get my groceries there but i don't normally drink soda so i never noticed it i just found some with glass bottles on Insta cart after reading your message, thanks so much!
just watched your pepsi video and now this one and got to listen to your spiel about dr. pepper being its own entity twice in a row! lol thanks for that nugget of information!
Your awesome Adam. Taking time to work with an up and coming RU-vidr. ...I bet that will be a motivation he will hold onto for a lifetime. Well done Adam.
The metal spiral pieces were not for binders, those were shavings when you engrave in a spinning piece of metal, also the “storm shelter” doors I believe were there to slide product down into the basement storage, since building and doors are small, they use similar in places like new York or Boston
With all that cold weather you're in you should have "Shhtomped your feet!" Loving the videos and doing a few collaborations along the way from some locals. I know you're watching what you eat but would like to see and hear about some local,small town eateries along your journey.
Hey Adam. Nick the "Woo Man Fan" here. Because of this vlog, I now have to seek and hunt for Cheerwine in my area of Long Beach CA (or go online) and buy myself a case so I can fully try out this tasty, carbonated beverage. Thanks for another great slice of Americana Pie.
Seems like you're headed toward the mountains. Those are great, and where I'm from, but I hope you keep enough time to hit the outer banks in the winter. Ocracoke is amazingly quiet this time of year. I hope you make it over there!
